@Enigma: Do each of the mafia traitors get an NK?

To Bus or Not to Bus


3 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Survivor
1 Town Tracker
1 Town Jailkeeper
1 Town Vigilante
5 Vanilla Townies


The goons are only told who their 3 partners are (i.e. they don't know who the survivor is).
If the Mafia outnumbers the town and the Mafia survivor is still alive, the goons lose and the survivor wins alone.
Mafia can't NK a mafia member.

@Enigma: that would be over on night 2 often. And if the game continued past that, the cops may make a town win easy.

:?:

Assuming the mafia kill goes through+misvig+mislynch, that's 9 alive w/ 4 mafia. LYLO, but not loss (in this case, I doubt the town loses since the mafia are likely to bus someone).

I wouldn't call it Jank, just not well thought out. Cutting the scum team down to 3 players and capping the vig's shots are likely to slow the game down a bit and keep it to D3 or later.

Do you think this gives the mafia enough misbusses?

I'm hesitant to cap the vig because I think any vig will at least half a brain will do it himself (especially around LYLO).

I think you're right in that I should add more town though.

How about this

To Bus or Not to Bus


3 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Survivor
1 Town Tracker
1 Town Jailkeeper
1 Town Vigilante
1 Town Paranoid Gun Owner
8 Townies


If the mafia outnumbers town and the survivor is still alive, the goons lose and the survivor wins alone.
Mafia is not allowed to NK one of their own members. Mafia also must NK every night.
Vigilante is not compulsive.
Town must lynch every day.

Sorry, shotty, I still hate the role of PGO.

How about just making that a bulletproof townie?

Oh, ok. I don't care for the role of one-shot vig, either. I prefer regular ones. But I like your odd/even night idea.

How about this?

To Bus or Not to Bus


3 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Survivor
1 Town Tracker
1 Town Jailkeeper
1 Town Odd Night Vigilante
1 Town Even Night Vigilante
8 Townies

  • If the mafia outnumbers town and the survivor is still alive, the goons lose (i.e. - the survivor wins alone)
  • The mafia can't NK one of its own members.
  • Mafia have to kill every night.
I don't know, is this a stupid idea? I thought it would be interesting to have kind of a game-within-a-game (the mafia has to determine who to bus), but please tell me if no one would actually want to play this game.

What is a Mafia Survivor? Is it a survivor that appears to be a goon for the goons?
But I think the set-up looks great
Hoping to make a comeback to mafia soon...

Exactly (but since this is an open set-up, the goons know one of them must be the survivor)
